Ralph drove that little S20 Foden of Sellers and Kent from new, it had the four pot two stroke fitted and was a regular in Ballidon quarry where I worked. Before my time there but when Ballidon were doing a lot of lime spreading, and before ramps were used, they carried lime on dropsiders and shovelled it off into the spreaders and that was used a lot on that work with the sides fitted. He carted mostly bagged lime when I worked there though, possibly blocks as well, so it worked well into the 1970’s and I assume was only taken off the road when Ralph retired? I believe it is still around?Pete.
Yes Ralph was a very fussy bloke and Fred Kent told me he didn’t like anybody else to drive it.I sold him a beautiful Wolsely saloon in Maroon when we were able to sell cars aswell as Commercials ( in fact tractors too ) It took him about an hour to make his mind up.
